Stop in April 2013

April 21, 2013

How did the sun stop? Without a Biblical foundation, even in how we teach science, people with an animistic worldview grapple with how to explain that the Bible says the sun stopped (Joshua 10:12-13). An animistic worldview believes that spirits, or some unknown Force, controls all events on earth. Some people in Haiti believe that […]

Luggage in February 2013

February 7, 2013

PTL that all our luggage arrived: with us, and with no customs fees! First we were over-weight for the amount of luggage we had told the Missionary Flights International (MFI) that we would be needing to take to Haiti. We had packed all night long, Monday January 28 to 29th. Then we drove a U-Haul […]

We fly to Haiti, this month! We start by driving from Alabama on the 29th, to take our 30 or more trunks & totes by U-Haul to the Missionary Flights International (MFI) center in Florida. They will fly us to Port-au-Prince on the 31st. The Baptist Haiti Mission complex, where we will be living and […]

From Florida to Mississippi, and from Alabama to Idaho – We will be travelling a lot this month. Mom is recuperating well from her surgery and 2-week stay at a local rehab center. She is still receiving out-patient physical therapy – until we move her (Dec.11th) to Mississippi, to stay with her son Paul […]

Surgery in November 2012

November 5, 2012

Mom had kyphoplasty back surgery on the 5th. I’m writing this from the waiting room in the Sanford (FL) Hospital. Mom fell again, this time fracturing at least two vertebrae in her mid and lower back. The neurosurgeon is doing microscopic surgery to insert cement to stabilize the brittle crushed bone(s), hoping to not need […]

Cleared in October 2012

October 18, 2012

It looks like we are cleared to go! No, our house did not sell. But a lovely Christian lady from our church will be able to house-sit it for us while we are on our “2-year” assignment to Haiti. Praise the Lord! We are planning to move to Haiti in January 2013, Lord willing. (Yes, […]

April 1, 2012

Bonjou. Koman ou ye? N’ap boule, mesi. The common response to “Hello, how are you?” is: “Not burned, thanks.” There are various dialects of Haitian Creole, which are a derivative of French. But please don’t take our word for it, we really don’t know how to speak Creole. We look forward to our two-week […]

Scopes in January 2012

January 13, 2012

What’s the scope? We had a great visit with the Lieb family from Haiti last month, as they were traveling through the area on their “home assignment”. We have since been able to send them a Scope & Sequence proposition, laying out what the Grade Two Bible lessons would teach, along with several sample lessons. […]

Another Project Finished! The 350-page teachers’ manual for Grade One Bible lessons is completed! It is being printed by the Baptist Haiti Mission, for use in their 330 schools in northern Haiti. This month I will start working on planning the lesson lay-out for their Grade Two Bible lessons. Then in January, Lord willing, I […]

QUESTIONS in November 2011

November 3, 2011

Questions, but not questioning God! It hardly seems possible that we had packed up to move to Florida a year ago, now, but here we are, still serving from Alabama. We do keep busy working on our “long-distance” grade one Bible lessons project for Haiti. We praise the Lord that in October, we found some […]
